SWE-2 self-serve promo ends
Cognition's Devin Desktop models doc says SWE-2 is free for self-serve plans through 15 October 2026. After that date the same doc lists $3.00 per 1M input tokens, $15.00 per 1M output tokens, and $0.30 per 1M cache input tokens. The Devin pricing page, read on 15 October 2026, says SWE-2 is free in Devin Desktop and the CLI through 16 October 2026 and does not restate those token prices. Enterprise ACU plans use a different table on the models doc.
Who it's for. People on Devin Desktop or the Devin CLI self-serve plans who use SWE-2 and need the date the free window closes.
Windsurf name is retired
On 15 October 2026, windsurf.com redirected to the Devin Desktop page. That page says Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf and that the IDE remains, with a download still offered. The @windsurf account on X displays as Windsurf (retired) and says the product formerly known as Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, a product by Cognition. The pricing page lists Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, and Teams at $80 a month plus $40 a month per full dev seat. The self-serve doc still describes Teams as an $80 a month minimum, with a $40 full seat that includes Devin Desktop and a $0 flex seat that does not.
Who it's for. Anyone still searching for Windsurf, and anyone comparing it with Cursor under the old name.
Bolt Forge preview dates disagree
Bolt's Forge help center says the research preview ran through 14 October 2026, that Pro users lose Forge after that day, and that 14 October was the last day to join the $9 Bolt Lite plan. Existing Lite subscriptions keep $9 a month. The pricing page, read on 15 October 2026, still said Bolt Forge was included until Oct 18 on the $25 plan. Both sentences are Bolt's.
Who it's for. Bolt Pro and Bolt Lite users who need to know whether Forge is still in the plan.
Bolt adds a model training setting
Bolt's release notes describe a Model training setting. It is on by default, and off by default for accounts based in the EU, UK, or Switzerland. The notes say it applies to content created or submitted to Bolt's AI features on or after 7 October 2026, and that Bolt Forge keeps separate data-sharing terms.
Who it's for. Anyone with a Bolt account who wants to choose whether projects and chats are used for model training.
Cognition introduces SWE-2
Cognition's 10 September 2026 post introduces SWE-2 and says it is available in Devin Desktop and the CLI, with a rollout on Devin Web and Fusion. The post includes benchmark figures. This entry does not repeat them.
Who it's for. Devin Desktop and CLI users deciding whether to try the new model, and anyone who wants the announcement date.
Firebase Studio stops new signups
Google's migration doc says new Firebase Studio signup and new workspace creation were disabled on 22 June 2026. Existing workspaces remain until 22 March 2027, when remaining data is deleted. The pricing doc, updated 13 October 2026, still describes access for existing workspaces as no cost and points people at Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity.
Who it's for. Anyone about to start a project in Firebase Studio, and people who already have a workspace and need the shutdown date.
Windsurf becomes Devin Desktop
The Devin Desktop FAQ and Cognition's 2 June 2026 post say Windsurf became Devin Desktop that day via an over-the-air update. Both say the plan and price do not change, including legacy Windsurf Enterprise. The post says new users can download Devin Desktop directly. The current name, the retired label, and the prices checked on 15 October 2026 are in the later Radar entry.
Who it's for. Windsurf users whose app renamed itself, and anyone comparing it with Cursor under the old name.
